| 2006 Barrel 27 Grenache "Rock and a Hard Place" | 750 ML | $19.99 | Barrel 27 releases their first Grenache! It was just a matter of time, how could a dedicated 'Rhone House' like Barrel 27 not make a Grenache, the Rhone valley's bedrock grape? Winemaking team Mac Myers and Russell From have long searched for that perfect vineyard (or two), that would yield a Grenache worthy of Barrel 27. That search has ended. The result is a stunningly beautiful wine with a medium ruby-black color and a captivating nose of sweet raspberry milk chocolate, hibiscus, logan berry, cranberry and caramelized sugar beet. On the palate, the wine shows the same pure red fruit characters filled out with notes of black tea and orange rind with a hint of vanilla. Soft and rich, with beautiful, broad mid palate, the wine's fruit and spice notes continue to build through the long, long finish. Certainly one of the best Grenaches made in California, even at it's first release, you'll be enthralled with this wine's expressiveness, purity and power. Less than 200 cases made.
